Now, welcome back to 2017. Harriet Tubman's place on the $20 is now in jeopardy, and it's all thanks to the Trump administration.

In an appearance on CNBC Thursday, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin was asked for his thoughts on the currency makeover—and his response was anything but enthusiastic.

“It’s not something that I’m focused on at the moment," he said.

Mnuchin explained that the Treasury's main concern in creating new bills is preventing counterfeiting. But even with the Obama administration's plans to make sure the new bills wouldn't be easy to forge, Mnuchin certainly isn't rushing to put the iconic abolitionist on the $20 bill.

“People have been on the bills for a long period of time,” he said. “This is something we’ll consider. Right now, we have a lot more important issues to focus on.”

The $20 bill wasn't the only piece of currency in line for a modern-day makeover. The backs of both the $10 and $5 bills would be redesigned to include tributes to the women's suffrage movement and the civil rights movement, respectively. Mnuchin didn't bring up those changes in the interview, so it's unclear where they stand.

Considering how then-candidate Donald Trump responded to the new $20 when it was first announced, it's almost a given that Mnuchin wouldn't commit to updating the bill. After former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew presented the revised currency to the public, Trump dismissed the news as "pure political correctness." He praised Andrew Jackson for his "history of tremendous success" and told NBC's Matt Lauer that he would "love to leave Andrew Jackson and see if we can maybe come up with another denomination."

"Maybe we do the $2 bill or we do another bill,” Trump said at the time.
